BOGOTA (Reuters) - Colombia's President Gustavo Petro will name unionist and former vice-minister of labor Edwin Palma as the country's new energy minister, as part of a cabinet reshuffle, a source in Petro's office said.
Petro asked all his ministers to present their resignations earlier this month, after a tense televised cabinet meeting and the definitive resignations of his environment and interior ministers.
